What to expect
Expect a steady pace with time built in to actually absorb each location rather than tick boxes. You'll spend the first day driving the coastal road, stopping at townships and walking sections of the shoreline. Your guide will share stories from the region's history, including tales tied to original shipwreck relics you can hold. The second night is spent near the coast with ocean views. Driving continues through farmland and wine country toward Adelaide. The minivan is comfortable and climate-controlled, though the full journey covers significant distance each day. Breakfast and dinner are provided at your hotels; lunch is your own choice along the way.
